2016.6.23 — Change Log

Our blog has moved to our main website! Check us out on discord.com/blog to stay in the loop about future posts.

• Pin a Message on a channel to keep it around for everyone to see. Click the new pin icon on the top right to check it out.
• Jump to a Message with ludicrous speed by clicking on it in the pin menu. We’ll be using this new tech for a bunch of features soon #tease #justreadthecomingsoonbelow
• Your Last Read Message is easier to find now. Click the blue unread bar to ludicrously zooooom there with even if it’s a bagazillion messages ago.
• Message History scrolling is now — you guessed it — at the speed of ludicrousness. Try scrolling up a lot and you’ll notice a new gray bar on the bottom when you’re viewing old messages.
• Invite Links have been dramatically shortened for easier use in games when you can’t copy and paste. In particular, hard to read characters like 1, i, l, o, and 0 are excluded. In other words, you can now read and join invites at ludicrous speed.
• Norwegian language support for all of our friends up north with big plans yelling MOLTEN CORE.
• Singapore servers got an upgrade to address peak hour packet loss issues. Should have less fizz krtttzb.
• Frankfurt region has been expanded to add more capacity because too many people are up late at night playing Overwatch.
• Major Performance upgrades to our backend databases. You probably won’t notice anything in particular, other than Discord should continue to operate ludicrously fast even though you invited all 42 of your friends last night.
• Android users can now change voice channel settings like Bitrate and User Limits. More admin features are coming soon too.
• Android supports our new low-data protocol and should start a connection with ludicrous speed.
• The word Ludicrous is now banned from future changelogs (we’ll see about that) (you’re dumb and this needs to stop) (are there two people writing this?) (no there isn’t, that’s why this is ludicrous) (…)

• Discord now detects network changes or waking up from sleep and reconnects ludic… I mean, immediately.
• No more zalgo text! Don’t know what zalgo text is? Don’t worry. I didn’t either.
• Clicking an invite link in the app does not open a browser, instead it does the right thing.
• The Click area on message embeds is exactly the length of text so you need to actually click on the embed instead of sorta-kinda around.
• Unicode emoji do not expand to strings in code blocks. No more diamond bombing :diamonds: :diamondshapewithadotinside: :diamonds: :diamondshapewithadotinside: :diamonds: :bomb:
• Voice connection lost sound does not play in a loop. As much as we loved the sound… once is enough.

• Ever get a mention but can’t find it? With the new fancy Recent Mentions features you’ll be able to catch up on missed mentions.
• Search your message history for keywords or to find previously uploaded files like Sherlock riding a water buffalo.
• Communities have wanted to audit moderator activities for a while… the new Server Audit Logs feature will enable just that!
• Progress on the Linux client continues and it’s almost ready for prime time! If you want it now check Google. :-)
• Phase 2 of the friends list (1 on 1 and group calls/chat) is on deck.
• Plus a bunch of top secret awesome mega feature magic that we can’t talk about yet.
